Glad I missed this one tonight. Hope for a better performance tomorrow, but the team has looked real dodgy of late, even before tonight, so I’m not expecting much.

f*** you Ovie. I have no sympathy for you given your stand.

Look, Ovechkin has supported him in the past. He’s turned a blind eye to past atrocities and now he may fear for his own life or the life of his family if he changes his stance, even when the rest of the world knows the man Ovi has supported is a sociopath.

But enough about Tom Wilson.

nah, no pass from me. What is occurring in the Ukraine with carpet bombing of cities and indiscriminate killing of innocent citizens is Stalin like. No one should support that monster.

I wish this team would somehow attract the attention of Michael Rappaport so he could unleash a profane and unhinged tirade like Rod should tonight

The two times we've been on ESPN+ are the two times this team has been shutout.

Starting to hate ESPN+
This team chokes seemingly every time it's in the national spotlight...it's no wonder we're constatnly underrated/overlooked

The Caps have been reeling let's not give them a chance to straighten up tonight
I really hate that I called this...tonight is probably all my fault...

The little bit I saw of the game, maybe 10 minutes:

1) About the slowest this team has looked all year

2) Seriously, something has to be done about the idiotic penalties. I get that teams get called for stuff, but jesus does this group ever do some ridiculous shit to earn them. Stepan's penalty near the end of the 1st was just completely unacceptable. That's a case of, you don't get to be a fringe hanger-on and then also do lazy crap to hurt the team.

If we want the penalties to shape up, then the easiest place to start is not employing Cole or Trocheck anymore. Svech will still have his problems but there is no way we will be letting him go, so the other 2 penalty kings need to.

Seriously, they're addicted to it and it's beyond time it got cleaned up. Cole especially, he takes so many dumb retaliatory penalties that I'm surprised he hasn't been healthy scratched by now.

Honestly I dont know how Svech didnt get a call in the first. He kept doing retaliatory crosschecks on a guy when the puck was already 150 ft down the ice.

I wanted to smack svech.

I wish the NHL would suspend him for a while because 1. Eff Putin and his allegiance and 2. Who wants a Russian as goal leader now?

We were very undisciplined last night and We probably got away with far far more then we should have. (We earned Every call against us and at least 2-3 more. )
The announcers thinking Skjei Elbow would get a review from the league only if EVERY elbow gets one It wasn't good but to me didn't didn't even come close to supplemental discipline.
Still a STUPID penalty in a long line of stupid penalties last night.

The teams legs looked dead and we are still relatively early in the 40 games in 80 days.. BTW F! NHL scheduling..

Yeah @WreckingCrew I feared it.. and we gave them the opportunity thanks particularly to the 5 on 3.

what is up with our National Game curse.. It's the Best way to make this team play flatter then the flattest B flat ever..

It's a long season but I hate the ruts we get into.. Last night we were about as crisp on our passes as Cooked Spaghetti having sat in cold water for an extra week.
